Wait until 1.3, which will undoubtedly having nothing in it except "Makes the game ready for the first DLC!!!11!One!1!"

Bethesda, you fucking SUCK at patching.

If you say so. Hasn't caused any problems for me.

Have fun fighting high level mages without any resistances. I'm sure after about a hundred one-shot kills, you'll probably feel differently.

Stupid Steam had someone managed to begin the auto-patching process, which of course disables the offline play ability. So I figured, maybe if I delete Skyrim, then copy it back from my backup (which is at patch 1.1), I can revert.

Of course, you can't reinstall a game while in offline mode, and going back online would have meant it'd get patched again. Grrr....

So then, on a whim, I tried running the LAA exe while Steam thinks the game isn't even installed, and voila. It runs like a charm.

No more worries about Steam patching me to a patch I don't want or need.

I had the opposite problem. I couldn't run the game at all with or without skyrim4gb.exe. Steam wouldn't update. I kept trying to make it update, restarting Steam and everything and it failed to do so. I eventually ended up deleting clientregistry and appupdatestats and restarting Steam, and it got the update finally.
